Dang!!!! :)
I love the way the image slowly materialises over a minute or two after you open this! Nice!

An intriguing abstract - I'm guessing a dog doing that sniffing the ground thing they like to do so well. Reminds me that once a dog gets outside and his nose kicks into gear, his ears turn off - they can't hear you call them at all. Nice in B&W, too.

this has such nice energy. the effect of motion blur is outstanding here, i like it a lot.

You ain't nothin' but a Hound Dog!!!

Comment by MelonMusketeer:
I like the little lines on the bottom left being across the general flow in that area. If you sit back far enough, the "dancer" becomes a big dog barking.
Good abstract shot.

I've got to stop looking at images, having a first reaction, and then glancing at the comments before commenting myself - it would keep me from feeling guilty about writing something that sounds just like the comments that came before. But, well, I saw this as an overhead shot of a spinning dancer, too! :)

But I still have no certainty that the image is what I think it is, and that's the beauty and effectiveness of this shot - the crisscross patterns and deep shadows throw all sensible interpretation out of alignment and we're left with a delicious mystery to gaze upon.

I love the energy and the mystery of this one. I feel as if I'm looking at the motions of a dancer from above. Intriguing.

Comment by krnodil:
A bit of selective blurring, perhaps? Very effective, having bits of him sharp while his "props" are doing a disappearing act.
